I used these tires for some years now and I think they are really good. I think the dry weather grip is brilliant. It is very difficult to push them over the edge. They may not last as long, but I think it is due to them being made with a softer compound. In the wet, they do not do as well but in no case are they poor performer. I really recommend as they are a great value and performance for the money.

Looked on the Mercedes forum where they talk about these tyres so thought i would try them. They have proved to be fine and so i would say give them a go.

I smelled rubber right after I wear them but after about 300 miles everythign was ok, the smell disapeared. On wet road surface better not to brake because you can dangerously slip. Im talking about sudden breaking and 90° corners.

excellent quality / price has 27000kms forward with a rather nervous behavior and still not changed in the back More 3000kms. a noted change in the front as smooth on the two sides of the tire but still slightly above the witness on the tread I increase the pressure of 300g tire compared to originally see the new mounted train.

The average consumption (diesel) increased slightly compared to the tires that I had before (always runflat, but Hankook). However, it is also increased traction on the road. Tires in line with the characteristics shown on the label. Excellent value for money.

Very good tyre. I drove almost 24.000 miles on these tyres with my Sharan VR6 Syncro. They force an agressive style of driving. Kumho KU31 is not affraid of water.

Stable handling. Nevertheless I'm a bit disappointed when it comes to the case of driving on wet.
